•The SASE is always noted for having a sincere acoustic tone, loved by players, audiences and engineers alike for their sound, style, practicality & ease of maintenance.

•You can play it loud on stage and it will not feedback, you can achieve great tone with a bow and you can play it unplugged and maintain acoustic responsiveness ( useful for small quiet rehearsals and practicing with volume restrictions).
